Summary: I found this book in book store selling for nothing
Comment: I picked it up to rid the world of yet another failed attempt of Microsoft for world domination. Note that the only reason Netscape released Netscape's source code is to prevent Microsoft from perverting the HTTP protocol and web standards that Netscape had researched and put in place. J++ was Microsoft's attempt to pervert Java. This has been Microsoft gut reaction to new technologies when they come on the market. I got this book partially to keep my door closed. I've thought how it would smell in the fireplace too.
It's probably a pretty good read but I got it merely for the humor of finding a book on the now mostly (??) defunct J++.. Never implement with Microsoft languages, I'll tell you now, you can learn the lesson later.

Summary: Not many bugs
Comment: This is a good book. Granted it seems like it would be for novices, it is not.THERE ARE NOT THAT MANY BUGS. You just have to watch your syntax. One of the biggest problems with novices starting Java is that the syntax is so strict. Be sure to use capitals when it shows to. :o) It doesn't matter if you are a experienced programmer or not, if you are not experienced at with C++ or at the least JavaScript then the syntax will kill you.

Summary: Skip this one and save yourself the tylenol!
Comment: I'm an experienced programmer who wanted to learn java and MS J++ 6.0. I made it half way through the first chapter when I gave up and decided to return the book. I'm sorry, if an author cannot get a hello world example correct as well as basic screen descriptions, it's not worth trying to figure it out. It seems obvious to me that the author has not tried his own exmples. It's as if he wasn't familiar with the subject matter prior to writing the book.

Summary: Great book for Programming Professionals
Comment: Alot of reviews here state that it is hard to understand, and not well written. But this book was not aimed toward just anyone, it is written for programmers. If you have NOT previously learned a language such as C, C++, or Visual Basic, I can see why this book might be a little bit confusing with it's fast pace. But for people with a programming backgroud, such as myself, will find it very easy to understand, and very well written. I came from a solid background of Visual Basic, and partial C and C++, and found the book to be most enlightening. A must have for programmers wanting to learn the Java language.

Summary: Great for C++ to Java Programmer
Comment: I am a C++ programmer and wanted to learn to use Java efficently and learn it quickly. The other reviews complain that the book advertised for beginning programmers, my copy did not. The book description was 100% correct. If you have a good understanding of programming techniques and want to learn the syntax, and structure of Java using MS Visual J++ 6.0, buy this book.
